Claims.

This invention relates to certain'new and useful improvements incombination'metallic and insulation shingle.

The primary object oi the invention is to pro'- vide a combinationmetallic and insulation shin'- gle wherein the shingle may beconstructedoi` any size or shape desired, thesame being preferably inthe form of a relatively large plate comprising a thin metallic outerwall and a backingof insulation material, such as cork or iireprooisubstance with .the relatively large metallic plate designed or groovedto simulate a plurality of relatively smaller shingles.

With the above and other objects in viewthat will become apparent as thenature of the invention is better understood, the" same con-V sists inthe novel form, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter morefully described,

shown in the accompanying drawing and claimed.

In the drawing: .Figure 1 is a fragmentary sectional view of the l ridgeportion of a root with the shingles forming the present invention; laid'upon the sheathing;

Figure 2 is an outer faceview of a shingle plate with the outer metallicside grooved to represent a series of shingles; y

Figure 3 is an inner face view of` the combination shingle showing thecork or insulation lining for' the outer metallic plate, parts of themarginal ilanges of the outer metallic plate being broken laway andshown in section;

Figure 4 is a vertical sectional View taken on line 4-4 of Figure 2;

Figure 5 is.a detail sectional view taken on,

line 5 5 of Figure 2, showing the outer metallic plate of the shinglehaving its side edge bent to enclose the side edge o1' the insulationpart of the shingle; and

Figure 6 is a detail sectional view taken on line 6--8 of Figure 2,showing the grooves in 4the outer metallic plate or the shingle to givethe impression oi separate shingles.

Referring more in detail to the accompanying facilitate laying of theshingle plate. To retain the outer metallic plate and the inner liningplate .Il in assembled relation, the lower edge of the outer metallicplate carries a channel ange I5 positioned at the rear side ofthe'plate.- while a channel ange I6 is carried by opposite side edgesofthe outer metallic plate with said flanges lI5 and I6 enclosing theadjacent edges of the lining plate 14.

The combination shingle is of the monolithic type and. to give theimpression of a plurality drawing, there is illustrated inFlgure l., -aportion of a roof structure including upwardly inclined rafters withsheathing Illa laid thereon and upon which the 'combination metallic andinsulation shingles designated in general by the reference character IIare laid, the peak o! the roof carrying the usual angular ridge plateI2.

While the combination shingle may be conv structed in any size and shapedesired, the same for purposes 'of illustration has been shown as ofoblong formation in Figures 2 and 3 and comprises an outer metallicplate I3 and an inner lining plate Il of cork, insulaqon or nreprooi.material, the lining platel Il preferably being of of shingles, theouter metallicplate I3 may be treated in diierent ways, such as byforming at spaced intervals, v,a series of relatively deep grooves Il asshown in Figures 2 and 6, and the outer metallic plate I 3 between saidgrooves I1 may be suitably ornamented further to enhance the appearanceof single shingles in any preferred manner, such as by longitudinalcorrugations. I8 shown in Figures 2 and 5 which may only extendthroughout substantially one-hall' the length of the shingle if desired.

The monolithic combination shingle plate may be laid in customaryshingle 4fashion as indicatedV in Figure 1 with a great saving of time,with the nished roof structure the usual relatively small shingles. f

While there is herein shown and described the preferred embodiment ofthe invention.' it is .nevertheless to be understood that minor changesmay b e made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of theinvention as claimed.
